Shades of Deivi Cruz

Because he was covering the plate after Haas entered the rundown, and he could plainly see that he wasn't in the way of the runner and that they lost the game? I see lots of problems with that play, but where Soto was at the end isn't really one of them to me.

Consider yourself lucky. Suffered my first loss today. Now 98/99.

The tip portion gets added later, but for some reason doesn't generate a new "alert". My statement always ends up showing the full amount including tip once the charge actually hits. It's similar to when a gas station does an initial "hold" of $100 when you swipe your card, and then the actual amount posts later.

Those of us with daughters will relate.

Josh Mandel deserves to lose on merit alone. No need to resort to Photoshop conspiracies. Of course, none of the folks Mandel is competing with on the GOP side are any better. He, Vance and Gibbons are all nasty candidates.

I have no problem tipping for carryout, though it's usually just a couple of bucks not the 20% I do when dining in the restaurant.

Your post was written in plain, everyday English, and yet I have no idea what it means, even (especially??) after clicking the link.

I've seen it said a lot that Will changed his reaction based on Jada. To me it seems just as possible that his initial reaction was to laugh, because that's what they are supposed to do, but then he realized what was actually said (probably combined with the look on his wife's face). I can think of many times when I've initially laughed at something and then paused and was like "WTF?". It doesn't really change anything either way, but just a thought. It was still a MASSIVE overreaction on Will's part regardless.

This is how I want all of my baseball highlights from now on.

In my wife's job she frequently (well, pre-COVID anyway) spends time in high schools meeting with teachers and principals about student teachers. Today she was in the school my sister-in-law (married to my older brother) teaches at. She poked her head in her classroom and said hello. One of the kids in the class yelled out "Is that your mom?". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another day of triple victories for me with Wordle, Quordle and Octo. Needed all 13 tries for Octo, but got it done. Actually didn't get my first word until 5, which is usually the recipe for failure.

My kids already go to school in the dark in Dec/Jan/Feb. It might technically be after sunrise, but it's still really dark.

May be the best I’ve done so far. Also got Wordle in three and Quordle in 7.

Right? It's like if something isn't expressly forbidden, then it doesn't count. Everyone turns into George Costanza.

Miserable failure at Octo today. Fourth word sent me down a rabbit hole with too many options despite having the last four letters. Wordle and Quordle were pretty easy for me today though, and I finally beat Survivle and got up to 7 guesses. I hadn't been able to get past five guesses the other times I've played it.

Playoffs??? Why are we Tigers fans talking about playoffs?

I got super lucky with Wordle today. I had about 5 options for my last guess and picked the right one. Keeps my 100% success rate intact. Octo, not so much... Also, because I can't stop playing different varieties of this game, I recently discovered Survivle. The objective is not NOT get the word in six tries. The catch is, once you've eliminated letters, you can't reuse them. And once you reveal letters, you have to use those in subsequent guesses.

So this is like banning Critical Race Theory in schools, insomuch as it is prohibiting something that wasn't actually happening.

Then it won't be illegal to ask someone if they are vaccinated!

I breezed through Quordle, but I needed one more guess for Octo. Word two I waffled between two options and chose wrong. Also didn't get any words until guess 5, which makes it difficult.

Nice! Yesterday I got one right on my starter word and still ended up failing. That was frustrating...

Right. He definitely says it, but then follows it up with "That's not how we roll...". He's equating giving up the election fight with laying back and enjoying it. It's a terrible analogy and he is a terrible candidate, don't get me wrong.
